Woman given wrong blood after accident; hospital's unusual defence fails before panel

In a shocking incident in Chhattisgarh, Madhu Khakha faced a grave medical error when she was mistakenly given AB-positive blood during her treatment instead of her correct B-positive type. This blunder triggered severe complications, leading to a delay in her surgery. Subsequently, a consumer commission deemed the hospital negligent, awarding her compensation for both her distress and legal fees, highlighting the grave risks associated with incompatible blood transfusions.
